Lenovo K5 Play Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Lenovo K5 Play - cheaper and better?!

Marketers of the Chinese corporation Lenovo have an unusual way to determine the pricing policy of the company's products. So, quite mediocre in terms of technical characteristics device can be attributed to the average cost segment, and a device with the same design and even better hardware is a couple dozens of percent available. And this phone is the hero of today's review.

The exterior of the new model is almost identical to that of the "big brother". A nice thin glass body is framed into the metal to achieve at least a nominal level of strength. A fingerprint scanner, a dual photomodule and almost devoid of bezeld 5.7-inches OGS-panel with a 1440x720 pixels resolution allows us to call a smartphone one of the most beautiful solutions for the price requested by the developer. The image displayed by the screen is characterized by impressive brightness and contrast.

To replace the the out-of-date Mediatek MT6750 came the Snapdragon 430 chip, together with 2/3 gigabytes of RAM and the Adreno 505 GPU they are running resource-intensive games with medium-high graphics settings. The volume of ROM is 16/32GB, so the buyer will have to use microSD cards. Unfortunately, in this case it is necessary to donate one of the SIM-cards.

13 and 2-megapixel rear photocameras, as the 8-megapixel frontal sensor, will not revolutionize the market, but will only be a tool for high-qualitative shooting in daylight. The battery capacity reached 3000 mAh, which guarantees only 6 hours of active display time. You should not leave a power bank at home. From other pluses we note optimized Android Oreo, LTE and OTG. Thus, the device looks much more balanced compared with the more expensive predecessor, which provides him interest from the audience.
